What's on your bench?

[Redfin]

Not on the bench but, I finished this up the day b4 I left for the TN GTG. Rotted in half right above the axle where the air bags mounted. It had been getting bad for a long time. I had picked up a real nice frame last spring and just didn't get around to it over the summer.
I'll get right on that next week. Y'all been there.

Good to go for haulin wood again.

Looks like a great start to a woods buggy.

Not the prettiest thing you ever laid eyes on, but well good enough to protect the metal, for an old power saw put back to work.

I like 44's...

Oh, .44 migrate to Pa!

Ya buddy! How's it going?

No deer here, for non res. PA hunting at it's finest.
I'm looking for some good n. eastern coyote lands, in PA.
Welcome to America!
The saws are now taking a backseat view...

I didn't get out in the early Archery season and bailed on the gun season. Going to hit it hard after Christmas!

10mm 044 getting a carb rebuild! Should run a little better!

I've decided to put my ms360 on the bench for a carb kit, seals, and possibly port work. It's been sitting for several years. This thing only has a total of about 15 minutes run time but it was with ethanol fuel.

Was taking a peek at this dirty girl today to kinda see what was needed for this 288XP project. First I noticed(besides the obvious dirt) that there was no decompression valve where that little hole in the cover is. Hmmmm. Tugged on the starter, locked up solid. Wiped the gunk off the metal tag, there was my answer, it's not a 288XP at all, but a 1987 281XP, that evidently someone threw a 288XP cover on. So, I took out the spark plug and squirted in some of my miracle juice, and returned it out side to sit a spell longer, while cypher on it a spell. I really could use an 88. Think I need to go to plan #2c on this...

Hmmmm, it's hard to resist not swapping choke&throttle shaft. I think my 242's may like the bigger venturi those 346 carbs has.
242 carb to the left, 346 carbs, 154C,182A,195

An 028wb. Hoping to do my first total rebuild. I'm sure I'll have a bunch of questions.

 

[dall]

jamey if you need a way to seperate cases let me know

 

[Stump Shot]

With the 288 that isn't on the back burner, I opted to start on this instead. Wrist bearing bad crank must go. Have complete rotating assembly from a crushed saw for donor parts.

What you got going on there Mike?

 

[TJ the Chainsaw Mechanic]

Couple generators right now. One fuel system work and the other a starter rope and light service.

What you got going on there Mike?

Hey Mike,

I got that saw for doing a couple of 365 cyls for Genius back in August. Had a broken case half and a leaking tank.

I have a pile of aluminum that came with it that it didn't need now.

I may have to find a tank for it yet.

Not on my bench..but a bit of a story.
Cut some firewood last weekend. Older gentleman showed up...by older, I mean a spry 81 years old..lol.
I was working on cutting some of the bigger maple/spruce/alder/myrtle with my 395, whose is fairly loud.
He starts up his ms440, and I can hear it drown out my saw while I'm cutting with it!! Lol. Jokingly, Asked him a little bit later if the muffler was just for show..then he tipped his saw up and said the baffle was blown out and I could hear screws rattling around in the muffler. Told him I'd be happy to pull his muffler, and see if I could secure the screws before one happened to get ingested.
He declined and kept on cutting...I was just gritting my teeth waiting for it to grenade....I'm fairly certain that muffler was not attached to the cylinder at all...just bolted on the lower side to the case!!

that sucks frank

Yea Old MS460......
